I have an op-ed in today's Wall Street Journal on misguided attempts by trial lawyers and Congress to regulate mortgage lending through expanded liability. The high school chess-team captain in me is impressed that I'm on the same page as Garry Kasparov, though that means something different today than it did twenty years ago.

(Update: Free version available at AEI. And additional back-and-forth at Point of Law and in the Marginal Revolution comments.)

I only got 250 words on the Virginia Tech tragedy, which, judging by the quality of the comments, is just as well. Wally has a round-up of other op-eds and blogs that made a similar point with more space to do it in.

• I'm quoted in the March 27 Madison County Record and in Legal News Line April 13.


• I have a piece on American.com and in the latest issue of Class Action Watch.
